I use Firefox and Avant too, and have for several years. I don't use IE. Some sites that won't work with Firefox, but want IE will work with Avant. Wonder if Opera would work this way?

I like it because it has tabs, and other features that IE doesn't have. I also run FireFox.......Moox (before he took a vacation)...and IE itself. I recently downloaded the new version Opera (V 8.51) as I'd heard a couple of good comments on it. I used it years ago but have not had it loaded for some time now. V 8.51 is truly a Gem! It has tabbed windows, and quite a few other nice additions. It loads fast, has webMail, manages bookmarks better, and is truly an improvement over the competition. It also features photo sharing, chat, and many other things *if you want them*. If not, you aren't bogged down with "stuff" in your browser layout. Of course, you can use custom skins and color arrangements. Lastly, I'd notice Avant had begun to slowdown capturing URLs for my URL manager. Opera is slick and fast with the URL manager program. If you like to experiment with new programs, give it a try. http://www.opera.com/ Regards from Bob -- the "Keyboard Cowboy", ,,,,,,,, Ô¿Ô¬ Cincinnati, Ohio - Scottsdale, Arizona ----------------------------------------------- Sunday, 1/8/2006, @ 9:51:18 PM EST ----------------------------------------------- Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. -- Sir Winston Churchill -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
